Forest Sangha Newsletter
Changes
As announced in the
last issue, it looks as though the Forest Sangha
Newsletter will be published only once or twice a year
from now on. Therefore, the next edition may well be published
towards the end of 2010. We are still unsure of how plans will
develop, though the FSN is likely to become a slightly larger,
annual publication. It will continue to be simultaneously
published in digital format as well as be available in its
printed form for downloading or viewing on this website.
We will be taking
this opportunity to refresh our mailing list for the printed
newsletter – please see the announcement below.
The function of the
Grapevine and back pages – to keep you up to date
with events, announcements, and retreat dates, etc. at the
monasteries – will now mostly be served through the
individual monastery websites and their own newsletters.
Amaravati will therefore be starting its own newsletter or
bulletin sometime this spring. Please see below to find out
how you can receive this new publication. To keep up with
announcements from the various monasteries you can also check
the current
news page at forestsangha.org
Please be aware that we
are
Updating our postal mailing list
It is advisable to
refresh the newsletter mailing list every few years.
Therefore, with a few exceptions* we will be starting a new
mailing list for those of you who receive the printed
newsletter through the post.
We ask that all
of you who wish to continue having the Forest Sangha
Newsletter sent to you through the post please confirm this by
re-sending us your name and address.
You can do this by
post or by email, or by leaving a note in the monastery office
at Amaravati. As there are thousands of you, out of compassion
for our office staff please do not try to do this by
telephone. Thank you!
To confirm by
post: Please send your name and address, with a message
indicating you would like to remain on the Forest Sangha
Newsletter postal mailing list, to:
FSN Mailing List, Amaravati Buddhist Monastery,
Great Gaddesden, HERTS, HP1 3BZ, UK
To confirm by
email: Please email us your name and address, with a
message indicating you would like to remain on the Forest
Sangha Newsletter postal mailing list, at:
fsn-mailer AT amaravati DOT
org
As always, in
future you will also be able to read the FSN online or
download it from this website. To receive an email
notification when a new issue appears, please request this by
emailing
fsn-mailer AT amaravati DOT
org
Exceptions:
North
America – Since we have recently gone through the
process of refreshing our postal mailing list for those of
you in North America, there is no need for you to confirm
your wish to remain on the list. We will keep the current
mailing list for North America.
Recent
additions – Also, we will make an effort to carry your
address over to the new mailing list if it has been added
within this past year. Unfortunately, however, we do not have
clear records of this, and it may not prove possible for us
to identify the recent additions and changes of address. So
please do reconfirm, if you wish to be sure.
Amaravati Newsletter
In order to inform
people of what’s happening at the monastery, Amaravati will
be producing its own small newsletter. We intend for it to be
circulated mainly via email; however, we will also print hard
copies to be distributed at the monastery, and posted to those
of you who prefer that.
If you would like
to be put on the mailing list for Amaravati’s new
newsletter, please send us your details. (Please be aware we
will probably not be publishing anything before May 2010.)
To receive the
Amaravati newsletter by email (recommended), or by post:
Please send your
email and/or home address to:
abmnews AT amaravati DOT org
or post it to:
Amaravati Newsletter, Amaravati, Great
Gaddesden, HERTS, HP1 3BZ, UK
~In either case, please indicate whether
you wish to receive it by email or by post.~
